Pickled Red Onions – Easy Quick Recipe

Recipe Description:

If you’ve ever had pickled red onions than you understand. There is something about the crisp, sweet and sulfery taste that perfectly compliments a sandwich. If you love caramelized onions than these are their uncooked, summer time, brethren.

Recipe Instructions:

Sterilize your jar(s) by running through the dish washer, pouring boiling water over them, or submerging in boiling water for 10 minutes.
Blanch the onion slices by submerging them in boiling water for three minutes. Then shock them in a cold water bath for 3 minutes so they don't over cook. Then stuff them into your prepared jar.
Meanwhile, heat the vinegar, water, sugar, salt, black pepper and bay leaf in a saucepan until the sugar has dissolved and everything is just starting to simmer. Do not cook too long or evaporation will ruin your ratios.
Pour the vinegar mixture over the onions in a jar. If there is too much discard the extra, but pack the loose spices into the jar. Let cool to room temperature on the counter.
Put in the refrigerator over night and they are ready to eat.
Store in the fridge.
